Overview
I am a proofreader and copy editor specializing in scholarly and other non-fiction book manuscripts using APA, Chicago, and MLA styles. I have a certificate in publishing from the Denver Publishing Institute and a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Colorado Boulder. I have worked on book manuscripts covering topics such as education, anthropology, ethnic studies, social justice, history, and archaeology.
Clear, concise writing is essential to communication, but so is knowing that language is fluid. I am a meticulous editor with the goal of making your writing, as Benjamin Dreyer puts it, "the best possible version of itself that it can be." I provide kind, useful, and specific comments and edits to every project I work on.
